If water parks are your priority

• Decide which features matter most: lazy river vs. wave pool vs. big water slides. A lazy river is great for young kids and relaxing downtime; wave pools and major slides are better for older kids and thrill-seekers.
• Confirm whether water park access is included with your room, included via a resort fee, or sold as a separate ticket — policies vary widely by property.
• Check height and age restrictions for slides and attractions if you have young children.
